Yoga asana are like the keys that unlock us physically and energetically and can be related to the 7 main chakras (energy centres) where we perceive, receive and store our experiences of our world. We will be working from the base to the crown chakras through Yin yoga postures, holding each pose for a minimum of 3-5 minutes to have a full experience of the anatomical sensation of releasing fascia, and the emotional component of understanding and feeling in the related chakra to whichever pose and body part we are working on. Add a sprinkling of mindfulness meditation to consciously work through any findings in our exploration and we will end in a short and sweet colour meditation for final chakra balance; it will leave you feeling stretched, refreshed, renewed and relaxed. Yum!

A dynamic interaction between the fire and flight of the Dragon and the serene and watery flow of the Swan. Based on Paul Grilley’s sequences we will explore a yang flowing flying dragon and a more static yin sleeping swan routine and experience both the yin and yang sides of the ‘yoga coin’ to find balance in the two sides of our practice and nature. Come fly the dragon around the world and then fold your wings down and sleep the swan = bliss!

Just as the seasons flow so should we. Our bodies and energy transition through an organic cycle of yin and yang that serves to harmonise and create balance within us provided we adapt our practice and lifestyle to compliment the season. Learn how to modify your Yin (& Yang) practice for Summer, the types of foods to eat, meridian focus, and lifestyle changes to make the most of the season and prepare yourself for Autumn. The class will be part lecture and part Yin practice. An opportunity to learn and then incorporate this knowledge into a Summer Inspired Yin Flow.

Let's practicce yoga to epic tunes! We'll start with a nice heart opening flow and finish with some delicious yin. Let's add a touch of enticing philosophy.... and leave the class in pure bliss.

Potent and soulful, Duncan’s Yin classes are not to be missed! This class will focus on opening up the lateral and spiral myofascial meridian lines. Duncan will infuse Yin Styling with his unique understanding of traditional yoga philosophy, presented in a modern way. The class will include raw acoustic soul as the Power Living team deliver a rockin' music performance that will leave you floating in the physical, astral and causal worlds. With a bit of luck you might even slip free of all three bodies and enter that elusive state of meditation. Join this amazing class and learn from one of the pioneers of the Australian Yoga industry - let your heart melt, your mind be still and your wisdom grow. 

A little haven in the fray, a 75 minute asana practice and 15 mins of Yoga Nidra meditation – a restorative moment in the day. In the Yin yoga way we will explore modern muscle meridian theory based on the 12 main muscle meridians and their related organs, in traditional chinese medicine, chi release and flow, fascia release, joint compression and tension, all in a well rounded and balanced class. Yoga nidra meditation is a more science based guided concentration of deep relaxation and the release of deeper tensions, habits and patterns in our bodies and minds. Coined as the ‘sleep deeper than sleep’ this is one chill pill to take daily!
